UHURU in shock as former State House official grabs 10 acres of State Lodge in Eldoret and starts constructing - He is now a ‘private developer’

Sunday November 4, 2018 - A former State House
official, who is now a private developer, has grabbed more than 10 acres of State Lodge land in Eldoret.

The ex-State House
comptroller, who remains unnamed, paid three men to fence off the parcel of
land directly opposite the State Lodge with corrugated metal fence.

The area is
usually used as a parking lot by guests to the State Lodge.

The police were
alerted and reacted immediately led by Eldoret East DC, Norbert
Komora, and officials from Uasin Gishu, who rushed
to the State Lodge and arrested the three people who were fencing public land.

“We
were there with my seniors but the matter is still under investigations because
those people claim to have documents for the land.”

“I
cannot comment further on the matter, because it is still under
investigation,” area police boss, Richard Omanga,said.

According
to sources, the former State House Comptroller is a well connected guy and
might as well get off easy.

“The
people involved must be daring or well-connected because they have the nerve to
move in and fence off land in a protected area,” a source remarked.

Extra
GSU officers have since been deployed to man the Eldoret State Lodge.
